[0032] Figure 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of an arrangement integrating a wireless device with contact manager logic of a computing device. The wireless device 110 may employ various techniques to communicate with the computing device 202, such as using a cable, docking station or port, and infra-red or other wireless technique such as Bluetooth, to name some examples. The computing device 202 comprises memory 204. Examples of memory include random-access memory (RAM), hard disks, CDROM memory, DVD memory, and flash memory. The memory 204, in turn, comprises various sets of logic which, when applied to a processor 220, affect the operation of the computing device 202. The logic comprised by the memory 204 includes the wireless device integration logic 108 and contact manager logic 206.
[0033] Applying the user interface logic 113 to the processor 220 results in display of a graphical user interface (GUI) 210 on a display 208 of the computing device 202. A user of the computing device 202 may interact with the GUI 210 to create signals to effect changes to the rules logic 107. For example, a user may interact with the GUI 210 to change the rules for handling incoming (communicated from the wireless device 110 to the computing device 202) and outgoing (communicated from the computing device 202 to the wireless device 110) SMS messages, Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), and/or duel tone multiple frequency (DTMF) signals.
[0034] Applying the contact manager logic 206 to the processor 220 results in display of a graphical user interface (GUI) 218. A user of the computing device 202 may interact with the GUI 218 to view and manage information about personal and professional contacts, such as the names, phone numbers, home and office addresses, and email addresses of family and business associates.
[0035] Figure 3 is another block diagram of an embodiment of an arrangement integrating a wireless device with contact manager logic of a computing device. Events and information from the wireless device 110 are communicated to the logic 108 of the external computing device. For example, an incoming call event and the phone number of a caller may be communicated from the wireless device 110 to the logic 108. The rules logic 107 determines how to process the received events and information.
[0036] The logic 108 may interact with the contact manager logic 206 to cause a lookup of the contact information associated with the caller's phone number. The contact information may include the caller's name, home and/or office address, email address, organizational information (department, title, position, supervisor, etc.), other phone numbers, and so on. The contact information may be stored by the computing device 202 or by a network (such as a corporate intranet or the Internet) to which the computing device 202 is coupled.
[0037] If a contact record is not found for the caller, the logic 108 may interact with the contact manager logic 206 to cause a new record for the caller to be created. Information about the caller made available from the wireless device (caller's phone number, name, photo, etc.) may be added to the newly created contact record.
[0038] The logic 108 may interact with the contact manager logic 206 to cause contact information associated with the called party or someone else ¨
name, photo, etc. - to be communicated to the caller via the wireless device 110, for example, via SMS, EMS, or MMS.
name, photo, etc. - to be communicated to the caller via the wireless device 110, for example, via SMS, EMS, or MMS.
[0039] The logic 108 may interact with the contact manager logic 206 and the GUI 210 to enable "drag-and-drop" of caller information displayed by the GUI
210 to the contact manager logic 206. "Dropping" the caller information (such as the caller's phone number and/or name) to the contact manager logic 206 may cause a lookup of the contact information associated with the caller's phone number, or create a new contact record for the caller. The logic 108 may interact with the contact manager logic 206 and the GUI 210 to enable "drag-and-drop" of contact information for the called party or someone else from the contact manager logic 206 to the GUI 210, resulting in communication of this information to the caller.

[0040] The logic 108 may interact with the contact manager logic 206 to cause contact information associated with the caller to be stored in the memory 106 of the wireless device 110. Contact information "dropped" from the contact manager logic 206 to the GUI 210 may be stored in the memory 106 of the wireless device 110.
[0041] Figure 4 is a block diagram of an embodiment of an arrangement integrating a wireless device with email logic of a computing device. The logic comprised by the memory 204 includes the wireless device integration logic 108 and email logic 406. Applying the email logic 406 to the processor 220 results in display of a graphical user interface (GUI) 418. A user of the computing device 202 may interact with the GUI 418 to read, write, send, manage, and organize email.
[0042] Figure 5 is another block diagram of an embodiment of an arrangement integrating a wireless device with email logic of a computing device. The logic 108 may interact with the email logic 406 to identify the email address of the caller; to identify stored emails sent by and/or sent to the caller;
and to highlight or otherwise call attention to the identified emails. If an email address is not found for the caller, the logic 108 may interact with the email logic 406 to cause a new address book record for the caller to be created.
Information about the caller made available from the wireless device (caller's phone number, name, photo, etc.) may be added to the newly created address book record.

[0063] Figure 12 is a block diagram of another embodiment of an arrangement integrating a wireless device with logic of an external computing device. In contrast to Figure 1, in this embodiment the wireless device comprises the rule logic 107 for handling events and information received from the wireless device 110. Thus the rule logic 107 is conveniently portable with the wireless device 110, which may be shared among several external computing devices.
[0064] The wireless device interface logic 108 of the external computing device 202 comprises only generic logic components, e.g. logic components that are not specific to the rules of a particular wireless device.
[0065] Configuration of the rules logic 107 of the wireless device 110 may still be effected by the user interface logic 113 of the external computing device 202. The user interface logic 113 may accept signals from a person or other operator of the external computing device 110. The user interface logic 113 may operate according to the signals and interact with the interface logic 115 to effect changes to the rules logic 107. For example, a person may signal the user interface logic 113, via the GUI 210, to change the rules for handling incoming calls, and/or incoming calls from a particular caller. The user interface logic 113 may in turn interact with the interface logic 115 to effect the appropriate changes to the rules logic 107.
